Two borders audition.........

I chose colors matching the half diamonds for the chunks of border and am auditioning them. I'll look at it a couple times today and decide if it is ready to sew. I need to decide if any of the spacer strips between the chunks need to be changed too.

I sewed the mini stratas for a TAW while I watched 3 episodes of Bones on Netflix last night. They haven't been pressed yet. There is no hurry on this project, just good TV watching sewing.

Yes, I really like the border. The only ones that bother me are the darkest brown?green? that read as a solid. The connecting strips look so good. I love how the bright blue makes the color pop from the center diamonds.

I kind of agree with Debbie's comment about the chunks of dark green. Not sure I will like them. I do know that by the time you are finished, I will love whatever you do. The red and black and white TAW is going to be great.

Diamond border look so pretty... I have never made a suggestion before but I can see a thin inlay piece (maybe black) between the diamonds and this border. But I know you will decide on the best finish as you always do.

I have only recently come across your blog - this my absolute favourite! Your colours, designs are amazing and I think your style is inspiring! Will keep watching you - and thanks for sharing. Jayne (UK)
